Guys, I'm seriously a noob at all this.
I have a question .. hoping you can help.
Is there a way to update the new Nist5 firmware update from Baikal for the X10 without physical access to the machine? You will be saving me a lot of unnecessary time and expense wasted if this is possible.
Thanks a million in advance.
If you can mount the updated image on your machine, you can copy contents from /opt/scripta folder to your miner via SCP. You will also need firmware update file which is located on the FAT partition of the image, i cannot remember which script to use on the miner to update the firmware at the moment - maybe someone else remembers it?
If you don't mind directly editing the miner.conf file for pool settings then only two files are required to be copied:
Updating sgminer and the STM firmware seems to be all that is needed. Both are obviously found in the new image file using something like 7zip to open the archive, then browse to
1.img/opt/bin/scripta/sgminer and
0.fat/GX10.bin. Copy both to your X10, the GX10 file should go in
/media/boot. Rebooting should auto-update the STM firmware.
Remember to do
chmod +x /opt/scripta/bin/sgminer
after you've replaced the old version.
If you want to be able to use the web interface for modifying your pools then a bit more work is required, but I haven't looked into it. After you've copied the new firmware file you can run:
sudo python /usr/bin/update_fw.py
